Soulless

Heres a pic of the Saxo this morning, started putting standard bits on her today.. ready for sale lol

mate, damian, your car makes me so jealous. I wish I could take it off your hands right now... in a couple of months possibly ;) but wrong time for me right now

is she a daily driver mate? do you think you will have reliability issues with that nice amount of power?

Cheers boys! yeah I knew about "FTW", Extreme fanatic on the Saxo forum you see with 15,000+ posts lol. Well; today I gotta gut the Saxo of its nice Sparco/Luke Interior and put her back to the fantastic standard seats. Saving the dollar for a couple of months or so (maybe as long as october - 2yrs ncb ftw.) to become a Glanza or Ibiza Cupra lad.

Ill try it mate, might give Bell a ring over ze weekend. If I get one for 1k Fully comp its still all good because Im paying that on my Saxo tpft. Heres the Saxo parked next to a mates @ Brands.

sorry to bump an oldish thread, but jesus!! thats some nice power to weight right there!!!

May I ask why? and also, why would a Glanza be alot dearer to insure than a Starlet when theyre pretty much the same motor?

Sure, Ill get some pics of the Saxo on here tonight, atm she's got: BMC enclosed filter, Piper 4-1 S/S Manifold, Supersprint Racetube, Piper 3" backbox, Lowered 40mm, White OZ super T's, 306 GTi6 283mm Brakes, OMP upper and lower braces, cosmetic mods like c/c'd grille, black headlights etc, oh...and a set of buckets and harnesses. May I ask, why is a Glanza so much dearer to insure, as I probably have made the mistake on clicking Starlet GT Turbo. What would an Insurance company call a Glanza Turbo then? Ill get a screenshot of all the options... There is no Glanza on the list, so Im guessing I have to click Starlet? EDIT: I just read the first post in this thread by me, *** Im actually 20 now since the 14th of Jan lol.

Ah I see! so It may be worth buying one thats already had this kinda work done to it. I see you are from Dartford Kent, do you ever go to Basildon? or ever around Ashford, Kent?

Im so amazed right now, if you wanted standalone management on a Saxo..... you have to chop the Wiring loom about (especially for me being a 3 Plug later ECU ) .......so literally the old one just unplugs and new one goes in!? How much are one of these badboys?!

Nice! Okay, I shall do that, another random Question, Ive always been led to believe Enclosed filters are better, yet I come on this site and most people are running open filters? Are those ECU's just plug and play? if so the Glanza rocksssss!!

Oh I see, didnt think anyone would be so silly? So, for example if I wanted to make my standard Glanza 160/170bhp, please link me to the appropriate pieces of kit, and tell me what id need to do?

ta very much guys, gotta say, extremely friendly people!

lol. this is kinda off putting. A member of my Saxo club now has a 180BHP Starlet, he claims that they are only reliable when modded correctly? Do you know what he means by this? Thing that draws me to the Glanza is that for £1000 you can make the engine quite the little monster. where as £1000 will only buy me cams and a remap in my Saxo.

Okay cool, ill take a look pal. The one thing that puts me off Glanzas aswell is Ive heard many bad things about their awful handling? Do you think its better If I wait for a modified one? as Im guessing like most cars, mods dont increase the value of the car. My Saxo is great fun to chuck into corners, but Im told a Glanza is more of a straight line car?
